Here is what Susan says about her creation process:
"My work is inspired by the beauty I find in nature. I take lots of photographs of trees and some of these images are up in my studio where I paint. I've been creating resin mixed media paintings for the last three years. The possibilities are limitless and I plan to continue exploring these mixed mediums in my work.
My undergraduate degree is in printmaking and drawing while my master's degree is in painting.
These mixed media paintings combine my love of painting with various image making techniques. I've been working with digital imagery for the last seventeen years. My interest grew out of working with digital paint and rotoscope on special effects for feature films. I began working with gold and silver leaf seven years ago. I got inspired to work with leaf out of my appreciation for antique Chinese screens and my friendship with Robert Kushner. My mixed media paintings are a combination of old and new materials. The metallic powders and interference paints that I work with give my pieces an unpredictable radiance that varies according to the viewer's perspective. So as you walk by one of my pieces you will see the colors change similar to how colors change in nature based on; different times of day or how the wind modifies the effect of sunlight on leaves and branches."
